Abstract
244 serum samples from unorganized sector and 122 serum samples from
organized sector were collected from apparently healthy goats of different
age and sex from North Western agroclimatic zone of Tamilnadu (India)
and were screened for Mycoplasmal antibodies by employing Indirect
Enzyme linked Immunosorbent Assay. Sixty two out of 244 serum samples
from unorganized goat farms in five districts were found positive which
indicating overall seroprevalence of 25.40. Out of 122 serum samples from
organized goat farms 35 samples were positive for Mycoplasma infection
with percent positivity of 28.68. The Indirect Enzyme linked
Immunosorbent assay for Mycoplasmal antibodies detection was found to
be simple, reliable with having high sensitivity and specificity.
